In a week, I should have a new Hurricane plus a pair of used WEL NRG cords (2013 make, older metal connectors). All are 20A, so I can do comparisons from the Niagara 7000 to wall, and from the 7000 to an ARC Ref 6. Currently I'm using just an NRG 1000 to the wall, and ARC's stock cord for the REF 6.
An educated guess would be that the Hurricane should have the edge between 7000/wall (where current demands are high), and the WEL between the 7000/REF6 (lower current demand favors metal quality?). I hope that's the case, so that I can stick WELs on the phono/pre and not want for additional Hurricanes/Dragons right away. Either way, this will be an upgrade from what I've got now.
